The document discusses improving education in South Africa by increasing access to libraries. It proposes implementing mobile trolley libraries, which would provide books and literacy resources to schools. The vision is for all South African learners to be information literate and have lifelong learning skills. The objectives are to support national literacy strategies by introducing texts to pupils, increasing reading enjoyment, and developing writing skills. The mobile trolley libraries aim to transform the lives of millions of learners through improved access to educational resources.

2. The need for improvement in
education is hardly debatable.
The general school library situation
in South Africa is far from satisfactory.
Working together as a collective
is our best and only chance of
exploring and developing solutions
that will transform the lives of
millions of learners.
